Ariundle Oakwoods and the old Lead Mines

A fantastic walk taking in the beautiful oakwoods of Ariundle, the rugged open moorland with fine views of the surrounding mountains, and the lead mines which once employed 600 miners on these moors.Terrain - Mostly easy paths and tracks; the outward section from Ceann a'Chreagain to the mine is hard to follow and boggy - best avoided by non-navigators!Grade 2Distance 10.5km (6.5 miles)Ascent 438m (1437ft)
